Jets coach Scott Miller said Birighitti had been outstanding all year and he was focused on the team's collective response to last week's 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Melbourne City.

"We worked hard, very hard this week and I must commend the players on their focus this week," Miller said.

"It was a real determination to improve on last week's performance against Melbourne City, so I must commend the players for their attitude on that.

"In terms of reducing their clear opportunities and not conceding late, it was a stance, and the clean sheet was significant to that degree, because a 4-0 hit will affect the biggest teams in the world.

"To show that discipline and respect for their teammates in their work ethic was great."

Adelaide coach Guillermo Amor was frustrated with the result, which was the second scoreless draw of the season against Newcastle.

"The result was not good for us," Amor said.

"We came here for a win, we played to win and we deserved to win.

"In both games we deserved the wins.

"If it was boxing, we would be the winner on points but this is football."
